NDC Using Security Forces To Intimidate And Threaten Innocent Youth
23.09.2015 LISTEN

The truth stands and it must be told void of fear, intimidation and threat....

After the presentation by the opposition NPP led by Dr Bawumia recently on the bloated voters register, there have been interesting developments in the Volta region as far as the registration and voting by Togolese coupled with minors as well are concerned.

Some disgruntled and disappointed NDC youth in the Volta region who have been pushed by the party executives to aid in the processes in the past have come out boldly to condemn the action which have helped the NDC to score high number of votes in the Volta region over the years and hence the region dubbed the "World Bank" of the NDC.

It is with no doubt that Togolese are brought into the region during registration to take part in the exercise and on election days.

During the just ended District Assembly elections, the same thing was repeated at a smaller scale.

These youth who have been used by the NDC in the past have no option then than to obey their masters but the tide has changed, thanks to God's wonderful revelations.

The NDC has now decided to use the security forces to intimidate, threaten and if possible put these innocent youth behind bars.

On Saturday 19th of September 2015 around 4am, security forces went to Robert Tetteyfio's (Leader of Disappointed NDC Youth crossing over to NPP) house by jumping over the walls and fully armed in order to execute an agenda but fortunately, Robert was not home. The house was ransacked by the security forces leaving other tenants traumatised. They took away valuable items including a van, money and electronics. Why is NDC instigating these cruel acts on our youth?

The van was later found at the Ho Municipal Police Station but the police are denying their involvement once again.

This is not the first time such an operation is taking place in Ho just to intimidate the youth.

In the late 90s, one NAPPO, a youth of Ho was murdered in cold blood by unidentified security forces who surrounded the gentleman's house at dawn and shot him dead. Almost two decades on and his death is still a mystery.

What would have happened if these security forces were to find Robert in his house on that fateful 4 am?

Other youth around the region have been targeted by the NDC and the security forces including youths at Aflao, Hohoe, Leklebi, Ziope, Kpetoe, just to mention a few.

We condemn these actions by the NDC and the security forces and we say "STOP IT NOW !!!".

The youth of Volta Region are not in any kind of bondage with NDC hence they must be allowed to make a political choice on their own. NDC must stop imposing the party on Voltarians. We will NOT keep mute as most of our elders have done over the years.

NDC's Hypocrisy by intimidating, threatening and promoting TRIBAL HATRED MUST STOP.

Most of these youth have vital information which NDC knows very well are against their fortunes in the Volta region so they are doing everything possible to silence or cage them.

Mahama and his NDC must stop using the security forces against the youth of Volta Region because of their choice to CHANGE.

We are fed up with the lies and deceptions by the NDC government hence we want CHANGE. A change that will bring HOPE to the youth.

The brutality on the innocent demonstrators on the 16th September 2015 by the security forces is another case of Mahama using the security forces to intimidate and threaten vulnerable Ghanaians.

The voters register is truly bloated and the evidences are there as far as Volta region is concerned. NDC is aware of these acts and they must be ashamed denying now.

Why is the NDC worried about issues concerning the bloated voters register anyway? Is there a hidden agenda? Why do they oppose the call for a new voters register?

Allow the youth to spread the truth because it is refreshing to see the light through the truth.

Thank you all.
